The Household Angel.

For a good, everyday household an
gel give us the woman who laughs. Her
biscuits may not be always just right,
and she may occasionally burn her
bread and forget to replace dislocated
buttons, but for solid comfort all day
and every day she is paragon. Home
is not battlefield, nor life one long
unending row. The trick Of always
seeing the bright side, or, if the mat
er has no bright side, shining up the
dark one, is a very Important faculty;
one Of the things no woman should be
without. We are not all born with
sunshine in our hearts, as the Irish
prettily phrase it, but we can cultivate
a cheerful sense of humor if we only
try atraJ NeaO York.

The Successful Remedy for
Nasal Catarrh

Must be non-irritating, easy of application,
and one that will, by It's own action, reach
al the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh'
during the past few years demonstrates
that only one remedy has met these condi-
lions, and that is EIy's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered en-
tarrh as nothing else has ever done. and
both physicians and patients freely concede
this fact The more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it, and a multitude of per-
sons who have for years borne all the worry
and pain that catarrh can inffict, testify to
radical and permanent cures wrought by it.

There are s65 days in year, and of
that number we must deduct 100 days
as the melting period, as it usually re-
quires about three months for hen to
shed her feathers and put on new ones.
We have 265 days left. As no hen can
lay an egg every day, it is apparent
that the hen that lays 200 eggs in year
cannot stop to do much work in hatch
ing; she must not become sick. and she
cannot afford to lose any time. IF a

very nearly lays one every other day,

flock, where good layers and inferior
layers are together, we should not be
disappointed if the hens averaged 100
eggs each and raised broods.
SKIM MILK FOR COWS.
There are many times in butter
diaries where the most profitable use of
SKINNED milk is to feed it again to the
cow which has given it. The milk,
after the cream has been taken from it
retains the elements that most cows
find deficient in their food. With
plenty Of grain the cow can easily
supply the carbon or fat-forming ele-
menrs of her milk, provided she can
get the caseine and albuminous portions
which the skim-milk furnishes. It is
the drain of these that hurts cows most
and they should be supplied, if not in
skim-nlilk, then in some other food
equally nutritious.
CHANGING HORSES COATS.
While horses are shedding their coats
they should be well fed and not over
worked. It is Important to have the
new coat on before active farm work
begins, as the changing process is debil-
itating. Thorough grooming at this
time is very important, and there should
at all times be work enough to prevent
the muscles from becoming weakened
by disuse. Unless horses have some
work in winter the fat they then put on
will do them little good, besides the GER
tainty that the shoulders will gall when
the horses are put to hard pulling.

THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT

Huron, on the Jim, seems to be the
spot selected by our governor for hold
ing the next military encampment.
The IIuronite says: Adjutant General
Tyner, of Dakota, on Thursday, decided
to locate the next annual encampment
of the Dakota militia in Huron. In
making this selection he considered the
cost of getting here, and the amount
of the appropriation available for
transportation expenses. Also, the sec
ton of Dakota where it ought to be To-
Gated. In the last consideration it
must be remembered that the first en-
campment was at Fargo and the next
at Aberdeen.
1t will be the best encampment that
has ever been he'd. The fair grounds
have been selected for the occasion.
Watnr III great anundance will he pro-
vided by pipes running from the city
waterworks; also, ice in abundance.
All meals will be served ready cooked
to the command, and the meals will be
very fair ones-cooking guaranteed.
All the conveniences will be better
than ever before, and the ''soger boys
will 60 away happier than from either
of this other brigade musters.
The time set for the meeting is the
first eight days Of September, begin
ming the first day Of the month. 1t was
considered that this date will be right
between harvest and threshing, and ac-
commodate more than any other time.
BY that date the militia will all be
armed with the latest improved Spring
field rifle, and the territory will be the
possessers Of two three-ineh brass guns

arms the Dakota militia will1bbe better
armed and equipped than the citizen

Lincoln Stories.

SSOAASos
A public man, with the reputation of tell
ing good humorous stories, is made to father
all sorts of yarns, good, bad and Indifferent.
That was President Lincoln's lot He was
father to so many poor stories, that many
people doubted if he was really the author
of the good ones attributed to him. Among
these doubters was Gen. Logan, and his
skepticism continued until he came into per-
sonal contact with the genial humorist.
Gen. Grant sent Logan from the western
department to Washington, with dispatches
to be delivered to the president in person.
Logan reached the capital late on Saturday
night, and early on Sunday morning called
at the White House.
The servant said that it was against the
rules for any one to see the president on Sun
day.
"Go up stairs and tell Mr.. Lincoln that
Logan is here with dispatches from Gen.
Grant," was the answer which sent the ser.

Logan up to the presidents private Office.
Mr.. Lincoln was sitting in a chair, with
one foot on table, and his head thrown
back, while barber was shaving him.
"Sit down, and I'll talk to you in few
minutes" said the president.
The barber, having finished shaving be-
gan rubbing the presidents head, and Gen.
Logan was looking at the presidents feet,
which were badly swollen MI. Lincoln, see
ing the look, said, "Yes, they are pretty bad.
